Welcome back to embroidery journal project! It’s hard to imagine that this project is in its second, and hopefully, last year. I’d like to finish my journal by May 2022 with the possibility of entering it into the EAC Seminar Members Exhibition. And honestly, I need a good, hard deadline so I can make sure…
From May 2021 Did someone say squirrel? I think so! As per my usual, new projects and workshops have caught my attention and have taken me all directions! A lot was accomplished in April, but alas, I am taking the onslaught of new projects in stride. Taking breaks is important - as each workshop ends,…
The inspiration for this project came to me during one of my frequent web dives. I have always been a Tolkein fan - what better a way there would be to stitch a wee bit of the Hobbit lore! There are a few different versions of the map on the web, but I was drawn…
After 7 months, a ten week course on couching, lots of stitching and a good amount of planning, my Goldwork Journal is now complete. I am very happy with how this journal turned out. This is a "learning piece" through and through - from learning about couching (from the course with Sew by Hand (Natalie…
I swore that, after the "L" monogram piece, I would steer clear of or nue for a while.... remember the "L"? And then I was introduced to this piece - I fell in love with this beautiful little toadstool which was designed by Mandy Ewing. I HAD to stitch it and include it in my…
From March 2021 Hello there fellow stitchers, it’s March - how time flies! I must say that my mantra for the start of 2021 is ‘get ‘er done’. January and February have gone by quickly and, thanks to some very cold weather and continued restrictions, I’ve managed to accomplish quite a bit! My WIP list…
from January 2021... Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you and your families continue to be well. It looks like this new year will be as interesting as the last! I like to look at it as a gift of time. It’s been wonderful working on…
From January 2021... Cross stitch temperature stitch projects seem to be all the rage this year (and last year too). This is my own "surface embroidery" take on a super cool idea. This project was kicked off in January 2021 with our local guild! I wanted the time commitment to be relatively low for this…
This is from November 2020.... It’s quite amazing how fast time goes by. My trip to BC was very nice and it was wonderful catching up with my aunt. It was not a visit in the traditional sense as we were not able to stay at her house as we usually would. Instead, we had…
This post is from November 2020... Hi there everyone, a lot has happened in the past couple of weeks... I’ve started my Trish Burr journal and have made a short video on the process. It’s been quite fun planning this project and getting ready to stitch - and now I am ready!! I found some awesome…
